In the past week my family: 1. Didn’t even text to see if I was ok after the nationally significant chemical leak. 2. Completely ignored some of the film photos I sent them from Ireland. I was proud of how they turned out. Crickets.

What do you do when you accidentally discover the first thing that makes you truly at peace with yourself at age 37 and it is 100% at odds with the entire way your life is structured?

No one in my family even texted me about the toxic gas event.

I am 37 please do not call me girly pop

THEM: “Don’t worry, it’s not your grandparents’ kind of polka!” ME, growing veggies, studying languages, trolling racists, and community organizing just like my Polish Jewish ancestors: “It’s not?!??”

I occasionally get ads for a polka band that say “don’t worry, it’s not your grandparents’ kind of polka!” I don’t think these people understand what it is that appeals to me about polka

Nigella has brought delightful and necessary energy to GBBO.

Thinking about a Robert Moses who was super into roundabouts instead of highways.

I know I don’t have children, so I am considered less important to society as a whole, but every year I cover for people who have kids while they take their summer vacations. It’s fine. Taking your kids on vacation is important. I can’t take time off when school starts back up. HOWEVER…

Hey man why has the overwhelming sadness of the world and the bleak meaninglessness of my own life made me cry at some point during the day for like six years now

According to the targeted ads I get on my podcasts, they seem to think I am a depressed truck driver who engages in high risk sexual behavior, cannot keep my vehicle insured, and has a busted ass cornhole set.

no, he simply understands the truth: Ronald Reagan never existed.

this is so incredible I can’t stop laughing because he forgot to include Reagan

Hijacker: Everyone stop talking. I am armed and I am taking control of this plane. Guy from the Netherlands: Wow, in Netherlands we just purchase a plane if we want one. But typically we will bike somewhere Guy who has been to Japan once: In Japan planes are rarely hijacked. It's a cultural taboo

Trying to eat dinner while you are crying over mortality isn’t cute.

There’s something about growing up in the country where my bedroom faced west and I watched every single sunset that makes living in the city and only seeing the warmth of the sun as it lifts off of the treetops at night that fills me with an unbearable sadness I find hard to articulate.

Cyclist just scolded me for walking on the sidewalk, where they were also riding. That’s new.

Got my boyfriend to read a book about fascism and go see the Odyssey in IMAX with me this weekend. Feels like a big win for anxious cinemaphile chicks.

Does every robot demo have a James Brown cape guy on hand?

Me: this THC drink ain’t shit Me, 15 seconds later:

Kinda annoyed that Hunter Biden appears to be a genuinely talented artist.

If your name is Max Xing, I bet the last couple years have been really annoying.

Prayers for all the bike guys girlfriends who found out this year that guess he likes soccer too.

I’ve had two friends give me shit in the past few weeks for having financial anxiety and not having my life goals figured out, because “x isn’t happening anymore”.

So tomorrow the smoke hits. My car does not have air-conditioning. If I can’t roll down the windows, it stays about 120-130 in there when it’s 90 outside, which it will be.

I’d be absolutely terrified of F. Genocide Memorial Pin.

your baseball pitcher name is your grandfather’s first name and the last thing you bought i’ll go first mine’s Dominic Sandals

Well, after about of training for this backpacking trip, I have multiple inflamed tendons and feel like I’m in worse shape than ever and my feet feel like they are steps away from collapsing into useless pancakes. Have ten years of office jobs ruined my ability to ever do this kind of activity?

what’s the Odyssey about? I’m so glad you asked

Warbol’s Factory TikTok House.

Bad week to be a Graham Cracker.

I remember breaking its tears at a restaurant, telling my friend how if genocide wasn’t enough to make her say something, and genocide isn’t enough to change my vote, then what is the point of anything. I would’ve taken anything. I voted for her, it didn’t make a difference and I still regret it.

He's right and this whole thread got me angrier the more I read, more I remembered. Basic human rights thrown out the door for unconditional support for Israel. Going on a love tour with a Cheney. It must be really hard to win an election while you constantly hit yourself in the junk with a hammer

This is misleading. “More than 100 per day” is a statistical error. Average city has zero cars crashing into buildings per year. Columbus Ohio has 10,000 cars crashing into buildings per day and should not be counted.

David Pollack@davidmpollack.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Cars crash into US buildings at a rate of more than 100 per day. Each year in the US, as many as 16,000 people are injured and as many as 2,600 are killed in vehicle-into-building crashes. www.storefrontsafety.org/crash-statis...
